Mason Jennings and Brett Dennen will hit the road together this May for a co-headlining tour.  The emerging singer/songwriters will focus primarily on clubs and intimate theaters, with Australia's Missy Higgins supplying support duties. As of press time, the joint outing is scheduled to kick off May 1 at Indianapolis, IN's The Vogue and come to a close May 23 at Aspen, CO's Belly Up Tavern. Along the way, the thee musicians will make stops in Asheville, NC (5/3), Nashville (5/4), Atlanta (5/6), Birmingham, AL (5/7), New Orleans (5/8), Austin, TX (5/9), Sante Fe, NM (5/10), Santa Monica (5/13-14), Berkeley, CA (5/15), Portland, OR (5/16), Seattle (5/17), Eugene, OR (5/18), Vancouver, BC (5/19), Salt Lake City, UT (5/21),  Denver (5/22) and Aspen, CO (5/23). Jennings will release his sixth full-length album, In the Ever, on May 20 via Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records. 28 year-old Dennen has been on the road for much of the past few years and will be featured in the June issue of Relix. Given their troubadour styles, the three musicians will likely collaborate throughout their extended run.

On March 27, The Morrison Hotel Gallery, which houses a variety of music-related art and photography, will open an exhibition space at 313 Bowery, the former home to the famed CBGB's Gallery. At nearly 3000 square feet, 313 Bowery will be the Morrison's largest space, over twice the size of their existing galleries in NYC's Soho neighborhood, Los Angeles, and La Jolla. Though CBGB's Gallery opened long after the legendary CBGBs, many important musicians appeared in the space over the years, including David Byrne. As previously reported, CBGB’s main performance area will reopen as a John Varvatos store.

"This new space will enhance our line of fine art music photography and puts us in a historical space where people can experience some very different shows than at our other locations," Peter Blachley, co-owner of the Morrison, said in a statement.  While the interior of 313 Bowery will change with each show, the Morrison plans to maintain many original elements of the CBGB's Gallery, including the bathroom graffiti, an original wall logo stencil and a panel of show posters and hand-bills from CBGB's 10th anniversary that were buried in an inner wall.

The 313 Bowery space will open with an exhibit by acclaimed British photographer and mixed media artist Steve Joester.  Appropriately enough, Joester’s exhibit will feature photographs from the first punk-rock era.  Then, on April 24, The Morrison will present 'Rockers' an installation by legendary New York photographer Bob Gruen at the 313 Bowery space.  The exhibit, which drew over 50,000 visitors when it was presented in 2007 at the FAAP University Museum in Sao Paulo, Brazil, features some 270 Gruen images - from John Lennon to The Clash, Max's Kansas City to CBGB's.  The Morrison has commissioned acclaimed architect Tito Ficarelli, who designed the 'Rockers' exhibit in Brazil, to transform the 313 Bowery space as well.  The show's centerpiece will be a recreation of a punk-obsessed teenager's bedroom from the 1970s. 

Warren Haynes and Grace Potter will co-host the seventh Jammy Awards at New York’s Theater at Madison Square Garden on May 7. A four-time Jammy Award Winner and seven-time Grammy Nominee, Haynes has appeared at the Jammys a number of times over the years, performing with both Gov’t Mule and the Allman Brothers Band. Potter took home the New Groove Jammy in 2006 and performed with an eclectic cast that included Joe Satriani, Steve Kimock, Jane's Addiction’s Stephen Perkins, Willy Waldman and Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey bassist Reed Mathis. Haynes and Potter have performed together a handful of times recently, often collaborating on lauded classic-rock covers.

Tickets for the Jammy Awards are on-sale now through www.jammys.com and the Madison Square Garden box office. As previously reported, Phish will take home the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2008 Jammys.
